Well, here we are again, way behind. Unfortunately, thats just how it goes I guess. We've had lots of drama in the past month and a half, most of which we tried to let family know- but here's the lowdown: James' cold he had turned into pnumonia! Crazy, and we spent part of a day in the hospital getting xrays and such. Good thing- we caught it just before it had a chance to get really bad. So we were able spend only a little time there, but left with 4 meds to give him every day! Now he great and healthy and growing like crazy. He loves his daddy and spending time with him- but also adores his sisters. He's such a happy boy, smiles at everyone, giggles and laughs all the time. He's just about crawling, which is so exciting for mom.:) 
Our little Kayla has been through the most recently. She had some weird things going on- that we originally thought were from the car accidents at the beginning of the year. But the doctor was a little suspcious that something else might be going on, so she ran some blood tests to see what was going on. We then found out that one of her levels that supplies blood to the bone marrow was 4xs the normal amount. They did some further testing- everything came back normal- so really the only possibility they were looking at at that point was leukemia. Talk about scary! So then they did a bone scan on her which turned up normal. At that point, because nothing was adding up, they redid the blood test again. Those findings came back just slightly higher than normal, nothing like before. We were so relieved. They said either there was a mistake with the test originally, or whatever her body was fighting fixed itself. We know that either way, the Lord heard our prayers and our little girl is okay! We will do one more blood test just to confirm that everything is still normal. Talk about a relief!
Now we face one more health stress- Brooklyn is having tubes put in her ears tomorrow morning at 6:30 am! She has chronic fluid in one of them that is making it hard for her to hear correctly. But other than that, our big girl is growing healthy and strong. Our girls are such good playmates and have enjoyed learning to play together.
Other than those stresses, the Lord is taking good care of us and we (the parents) have been just fine.:) We've had snow dumped on us, which has made travel extremely difficult, but it's so much fun! I've never seen this much snow, storm after storm. So it's been really exciting for me!:)
Brett's parents came from Denver at the beginning of the week and plans on staying through Christmas. So that's been great.
We hope all is well with everyone- and wish you all a wonderful and merry Christmas!!
